   I didn't have that problem this year on my WC4MLP so I guess mine is set   
   to something else but I would still like a copy of the program for   
   future use. You can send it to me at:  sysop@techware2k.com   
      
   Do you make a netmail door for WC5? PXW OUTbound Netmail isn't working   
   for me and some others.   
      
   Thanks.

   -> Hi folks...   
      
   -> I had an experience today I thought I would share with you.   
      
   -> When logging into Wildcat! v4.20 this morning, I received some netmail   
   -> messages and was replying to one which sent me off to ViaADDR!, the   
   -> netmail 'door' which happily allowed me to accept the reply address.   
      
   -> Upon recycling back to the BBS, Wildcat! detected I was out of time   
   -> and promptly kicked me off stating I had exceeded my time limit.   
   -> Obviously that wasn't the case (I had only been on a few minutes) so the   
   -> whole thing sounded way too familiar.   
      
   -> So I ran up my PATCHWC v3.00 program and checked the Epoch date on the   
   -> WILDCAT.EXE and sure enough, it was set for 1919.  Since today is the   
   -> first day of 2019, this was the exact reason PATCHWC.EXE was created   
   -> for.   
      
   -> So I ran up PATCHWC.EXE and changed the Epoch date to 1930 and ran it   
   -> against Wildcat!'s executables.  Subsequent attempts at replying to   
   -> netmails in Wildcat! were now successful and life is good.   
      
   -> Long story short, if you run DOORs (of any kind) and have not patched   
   -> your Wildcat! EXEs, or if your Epoch date was set to 1919 (as was mine),   
   -> then you'll need to run PATCHWC against it and use at least 1920 as the   
   -> Epoch date.  If you need a copy of the program (it's free), let me know   
   -> and I'll make it available for you.   
      
   -> Regards,
